 Instead of "Team XXXX graciously accepts" how about just a big "yeaaaahhhhh!" ? - sanddrag [more] |

Re: pic: 294 Teaser #2
Looks to me like you just took your practice chassis and stacked it on top. It looks like there are too many cims to be one robot in this photo http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/34735? Sneaky sneaky

That's pretty cool. But I hope you are aware of the rule that prohibits you from having multiple orientations. By definition, you aren't allowed robots that can flip and keep on going.

Those "extra" wires could be for quick disconnects to their control panel, just like we do on our robots

Actually, I think there are too many things missing in this picture for us to say one way or another whether this is one robot or two. For instance, the lack of chain.

Not tall enough to be a flippable robot.
I like the chassis though. No idea why.

Wow! The machining that was done to cut weight on the inside of those plates looks awesome! Flip the plates and show it off! Its quite a beauty. We're planning on doing that, and it'll be quite a looker. Hahaha I guess I missed the point of the teaser, but regardless, I like it

Once again, great frames. Is that wheel design any different from previous years? New iteration perhaps?

Re: pic: 294 Teaser #2
the two robots stacked on top of each other remind me of THIS mishap...
that frame has a history of GREAT defense....

Thanks for the kind words.
The wheels are a new iteration of the wheels on our 2008 robot.
7 inch diameter instead of 4
accommodates 1 inch wide tread
The spokes are beefed up a bit to handle all of the robot weight shifting forward over the bump.
Our main sponsor Northrop Grumman did an excellent job machining the wheels and sideplates.

Cool Robot
You should post a video on youtube to see it drive over the bump.

Re: pic: 294 Teaser #2
Yeah, it's not actually a flipping robot; there's just a clone stacked ontop of the original:
1. It's too short... a flipping robot requires the bumper zone to be legal upside and downside down.
2. I think Greg Needel is right - looks like there's too many CIMS.
3. The two long aluminum panels are slightly crooked, you can tell if you examine the zoomed-in picture closely.
4. Why fillet the corners of the midline, if it's one unit?

Re: pic: 294 Teaser #2
5. Why on earth would you make a sideplate out of 2 pieces instead of 1, especially when you have the option to do 1 instead of 2?

Re: pic: 294 Teaser #2
We'll post a video when we get all of the chain and electronics on.
